One of the most notable structures in the new town of Ružinov, the building was intended for the large foreign-trade corporations Chemapol and Drevounia. On a square plan, it has a noticeably formed facade with the protruding volume of the solid hipped sun-shade. Protruding above the ground and second floors on brackets are the four administrative levels, surrounding an interior atrium. At the centre of the plan of the entrance floor is a conference hall with 200 seats, lighted from above through the atrium. The four office floors have a three-part layout, with a central corridor and offices facing outside or into the atrium. During the 1990s, the slender concrete sun-shades were removed, and replaced during reconstruction in 2003 – 2005 with aluminium ones.
